LANCASTER, PA – After leading the team to a 2-0 record last week, Johns Hopkins women's basketball's
Greta Miller has been named the Centennial Conference Player of the Week, as released by the conference this morning.
The junior continues to enjoy a breakout December in which she is putting up 18.7 points and seven rebounds per game while shooting 52.8% from the field and a scorching 69.2% from deep in three contests. In Miller's two games last week she averaged 18 points and seven rebounds on 45.8% shooting from the field and 66.7% from 3-point territory.
The Park Ridge, Ill. Native opened her week with her second double-double of the season, registering game-highs in points (18) and rebounds (10) while adding two assists, one block and a career-best-tying three steals in the 59-42 win. In a game in which the Blue Jays found themselves down four at halftime, the junior tallied 13 points in the second half to help lead her team to the come-from-behind victory.
Miller stayed hot in her final game of the week against Dickinson, finishing with a game-high 18 points to pair with four rebounds and one assist. The junior shot 6-11 from the field including a perfect 4-4 from 3-point land — a career-high mark. Hopkins once again found itself down in the second half, trailing by two heading into the fourth, but it was Miller draining two threes, including a dagger that gave the Jays their largest lead of the afternoon at eight with just over a minute to go, to help clinch the 58-49 win and remain undefeated in Centennial Conference play.
Hopkins returns to action Friday, Dec. 29 when they travel to Tennessee to take on the University of Chicago and Kenyon in the DIII Music City Classic. Tip-off for their contest against UChicago is at 1 p.m. CT.
